I watched “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” a few weeks ago which is probably my first proper anime (not counting the odd episode of Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or OnePiece I caught on TV as a child) and I really enjoyed it.

Especially the slow but deep character build up and general world building and exploration themes were really captivating. So I’m looking for something similar with focus on these aspects.

So far I found “Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina”, which was ok but didn’t quite live up to Frieren and wasn’t nearly as captivating.

So does anyone know similar shows or at least shows that focus on the aspects of story telling I mentioned avove?

    Look, I love Made in Abyss more than basically anyone on Earth. But I struggle to think it’s a good recommendation for a gateway anime. The other two you rec’d are absolutely perfect, though, so I can’t argue entirely. But I’m going to go ahead and suggest AniList for list tracking.

          Everyone needs these kinds of recommendations when starting out, my guy, hazing is great. Especially when the recommendation is actually good (meaning mia, not the other one).

            I don’t disagree it’s a good show. I just don’t know that I think OP would much like anime anymore if that’s one of their first.

              They could have recommend school days. Its fucked up but damn did dude get what he deseved. I dont think that one is an anime deal breaker like made in the abyss is.
